What to do and see in San Salvador, San Salvador Department: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks

November 27, 2021 Hector Krause

El Salvador's capital, San Salvador, is a modern city of wide boulevards and narrow streets, outdoor markets, government buildings, high-rises, monuments, an exuberant nightlife, museums and other cultural institutions. And all set against the backdrop of San Salvador volcano. The city is surrounded by shantytowns as well as affluent suburbs with restaurants and large shopping malls. Peaceful settings such as the botanic garden of Parque Cuscutlan provide a break from the city's hectic pace.

I have to be honest, this place never interested me in the past, but i had to take my girlfriend, because she wanted to know more about the history of my country, and because of her, i found out this nice place full of history, it's such a beautiful building that it deserves a visit once in a lifetime of every citizen of this country. I hope they will restore it to it's full someday!
